2022 Clos du Marquis, Saint-Julien 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2022 Clos du Marquis has held on to its generous, perfumed, floral bouquet that shades the preceding Le Petit Lion. This has plenty of black cherry, blackcurrant, cedar and pencil box aromas. It’s opulent compared to its peers yet beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins. It is seductive, with a satin-like texture and a poised, prolonged finish. This has stepped up a level during barrel maturation. It’s wonderful. [Neal Martin, 02/01/2025]
